My coin quilt is finally finished! I started cutting fabrics back in March 2009 and sewed the top throughout that year. Then we moved to England and there it lay forgotten on a shelf... until I took it up again two months ago. I quilted and bound it by hand over many evenings and now it's ready to go into our bedroom in Lisbon. A handmade quilt is indeed something special and the result makes up for all the investment one puts in it. I highly recommend it!

Well done. Long arm/machinery quilting can be stunning, but to my mind nothing compares to hand quilting, where each stitch is personal and individual, like handwriting. It's often a labour of love, but worth it.
